As sure as my heart beats, I know I will suffer And the most bitter taste will be that of truth But sweet lies offer nothing worth having and only the dead feel no pain Behind the facade or escape lies a glory that time and again will fade away Leaving in its wake a broken soul lost within torments that have only grown To be numb is to deny what it means to be alive Because feeling is as vital as breath And without despair life has no more meaning than falling grains of sand, signifying nothing It's all empty So empty
